ICD-10 Code H50.111 – Monocular exotropia, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.111 – Monocular exotropia, right eye
What it is
This code identifies a right eye that turns outward while the other eye is not similarly misaligned. Use it for a monocular exotropia limited to the right eye.
Clinical signs
Common findings include outward deviation of the right eye, poor ocular alignment, and possible intermittent or constant misalignment. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H50.111 when the record clearly documents exotropia affecting only the right eye. It may appear in ophthalmology assessments, strabismus evaluations, or problem lists when the laterality is specified. If the note does not confirm the right eye, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left eye exotropia, alternating exotropia, or unspecified exotropia. If the documentation describes a different strabismus type, select the more accurate code.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the ophthalmology note before assigning H50.111.
